Abstract

Sleep is well known to be important to health and well-being, creativity, memory consolidation, and cognitive functions. However, sleep disorder patients sometimes had some limitation to get proper diagnosis and treatments. Now we live in an era of big change, so called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is characterized by mobile internet connectivity and artificial intelligence. Sleep medicine also started to change to patients-centered medicine with technical enhancement. To date, lots of smartphone applications and wearable device for monitoring sleep have appeared but not been validated enough against polysomnography. As another topic, big data receives lots of attention among sleep specialists. It is believed that big data would provide the basis of personalized healthcare. Here, we will discuss about new trend of sleep medicine involving mobile health such as telemedicine, smartphone, wearable device, and big data.
